:hands mariah a paper bag to breathe into: :P

Y can pick up his visa tomorrow morning :dance:

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I think any array of emotions at this point can be considered normal. This whole process is exhausting and much like a rollercoaster. At this point, you are probably just feeling like.."lets get this sh!t OVER with already!!"

Vent, freak out, or be aloof if you need to. I'll listen :)

Childress,

Call and follow the prompts that say "if you believe your case in out of the posted processing times"(paraphrasing)

When you get to a CSR, tell them that you want to do a service request to see why your case is out of processing times. Escalate the call if you need to. ;)

they should put in a service request and you will get a letter a couple weeks later giving you the status of your case.

Good Luck!
